Lung cancer: Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer. Lung cancer is a disease that causes malignant (cancer) cells to grow in lung tissues. Primary lung cancer is cancer that begins in the lungs. Secondary lung cancer is cancer that spreads to the lungs from elsewhere in the body. There are usually no signs or symptoms in the early stages of lung cancer. Still, many people experience symptoms such as a chronic cough, coughing up blood, persistent dyspnea, unexplained tiredness and weight loss, and an ache or pain when breathing or coughing.
